New official hardware: mt32-pi | zero

[dwhinham]

For some time now I've been occasionally asked if I had an official mt32-pi hardware design in mind. With the release of the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W near the end of 2021, I decided I finally wanted to create my own design; something unique, small, and fun.

Features:

• DIY kit based around Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.
• TRS Type A MIDI in, 3.5mm stereo audio out via. hi-fi PCM5102 DAC.
• 128x64px OLED, two control buttons, and a unique jog wheel for volume control.
• MiSTer FPGA compatible, using a standard short (<30cm) USB 3.0 to micro-B cable (as found on portable hard disks).

A PDF manual is available here, and 3D printable case and stand files are available here on Printables if you prefer to print your own.

The kit will be available on my Ko-fi shop - follow my Twitter for news and availability.

The hardware will eventually be open sourced in keeping with the spirit of the mt32-pi software.
